Here is another nice performance of the piece:

Schubert's 'Ständchen' (D920)
I'm not sure who the soloist is, since the video just says this is the Capella d'Amsterdam under the direction of Daniel Reuss




I also just listened to the melancholy but sweet D957, which I think is more famous than D920 since I had heard it before. I prefer D920 because it tugs at me more, but Angela Gheorghiu sings D957 very well, in my opinion:

Schubert's "Ständchen" D 957, n°4
Angela Gheorghiu



The youtube video caught my attention because Angela Gheorghiu is so glamorous!
